Manchester are reported to be looking to Burnley to replace the departing Leroy Sané, with Dwight McNeil shortlisted as a potential summer signing. Pep Guardiola confirmed last week that Sané has rejected the offer of a new contract at the Etihad, and though he refused to concede that he will leave this summer, the chances of City allowing him to run down his contract and depart for free in 12 months appear slim. The Germany international set the club back close to £50m in 2016, and though he...

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that academy graduate Angel Gomes, who made his first-team debut at the age of just 16 in May 2017, looks likely to leave the club when his contract expires this week. Gomes is out of contract on 30 June and the club have not managed to reach an agreement with the 19-year-old about extending his stay at Old Trafford. Gomes has played 10 first-team games in 3 years “Got no news, nothing, so doesn't look like [he will stay],” Solskjaer...

Watford manager Nigel Pearson opted not to publicly criticise Andre Gray, Nathaniel Chalobah or Domingos Quina, after the trio were dropped from his squad after attending a party over the weekend. Videos posted by Gray on Twitter and Instagram - which have since been deleted - appeared to show the three players at a lively get-together on the weekend of Gray's 29th birthday. Mass gatherings are still banned as part of England's lockdown restrictions, and after the trio were criticised for...

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino, who remains out of work, has become an ambitious target for Portuguese giants Benfica. Pochettino was sacked by Spurs in November following a poor run of form that had begun the previous season, although it was still only six months after the Argentine had guided the club to its first ever Champions League final. Pochettino was sacked by Spurs in November It is thought that the agreement as part of Pochettino’s dismissal entitling Spurs to...

Who'd have thought that being out of Cristiano Ronaldo's shadow would be so fun? Real Madrid hitman Karim Benzema is loving every second of being his side's talisman, after taking some time to grow into it last season. He has already bagged 22 goals in all competitions and added his tenth assist of the season with a sumptuous backheel pass for Casemiro against Espanyol. Just a casual backheel assist from Benzema, no big deal! ? Casemiro finishes and Madrid lead just before half time ⚪...

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has penned an open letter to the people of Liverpool dedicating the Reds' Premier League title victory to them. Klopp's side have been runaway leaders almost all season and confirmation of their first title in 30 years was coming for what felt like an eternity, before Chelsea's 2-1 win over Manchester City made it official. WE’RE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!! ? pic.twitter.com/qX7Duxoslm — Liverpool FC (Premier League Champions ?) (@LFC) June 25, 2020 Writing to the...

Soon-to-be Chelsea striker Timo Werner has confessed that he chose to give up the chance to finish the Champions League with RB Leipzig because it 'didn't feel right' to remain in Germany after he becomes a Chelsea player. With the Champions League set to spill over into August, many transfers will only be finalised once that competition comes to a close, so it came as a surprise to see Werner refuse to play on with Leipzig to seal a move to Stamford Bridge as soon as possible. Werner was...

Barcelona legend Xavi Hernández has confirmed he is already preparing to return to Camp Nou in the near future, suggesting the 2021 presidential election as the ideal time to make the move. Xavi, who is currently in charge of Qatari side Al-Sadd, was heavily linked with the coaching job at Barcelona back in January, but he rejected the offer as he felt it was too soon, prompting Barcelona to move for Quique Setién instead. Quique Setien is under pressure at Camp Nou However, it has not been...

Borussia Dortmund executive Hans-Joachim Watzke has admitted that the club will discuss selling Jadon Sancho this summer if the Englishman specifically requests a move away. Manchester United are in pursuit of Sancho, and 90min understands that they remain confident of getting a deal over the line, but the coronavirus crisis has left the two sides stuck in somewhat of a stand-off over the cost of the deal. Manchester United want to land Sancho this summer United are adamant that they will not...

Borussia Dortmund would discuss selling Jadon Sancho to Manchester United if he asks to leave.

Race Inter came from behind late on to beat Parma 2-1 on Sunday night, just about keeping their faint Scudetto hopes alive. A disjointed first-half performance from Inter saw the hosts take full advantage, as former Arsenal man Gervinho gave Parma the lead 15 minutes in after some crafty footwork sat Antonio Candreva down. Gervinho scored the opener with an impressive finish Andreas Cornelius - fresh off the back of his hat-trick at Genoa last time out - meanwhile, spurned several glorious...

Real Madrid established a two-point lead over Barcelona in the La Liga title race by beating Espanyol on Sunday night, thanks to Casemiro's composed finish. Los Blancos were largely dominant in terms of possession and shots taken but left it until the 45th minute to take the lead, with midfielder Casemiro latching onto Karim Benzema's brilliant backheel to fire the visitors in front. Real were previously only ahead of Barcelona by virtue of their better head to head record, but La Blaugrana's...

If Borussia Dortmund are resigned to losing Jadon Sancho this summer, then their poker face deserves substantial praise. The England winger remains Manchester United's primary target for the window ahead, but despite frequent speculation, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has claimed United will not be able to afford the 20-year-old. As the curtain comes down on the #Bundesliga season this afternoon, it could be the end of an era at @BVB . Mario Gotze's contract is up, while Jadon Sancho and...

La Masia is not what it used to be, that much we already know. The 2010 era at Barcelona, where the club had - according to Ballon d'Or voting - the world's top three footballers in Lionel Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta, was always going to be tricky to replicate. Yet nobody expected it to be as bad as it has been for the Catalan giants. With such a strong philosophy rooted in the development of youth prospects, nurturing them from a tender age to one day appear for the first team, the results...

When Todd Cantwell thundered in an equaliser from 25 yards against Manchester United at the weekend, it served as a welcome reminder that there is an incredible talent hiding underneath his signature hairband. We haven't seen it often enough in 2020 after his astonishing start to the season tailed off along with Norwich's fortunes, but he's been one of a few bright sparks, and when their drop back into the Championship is eventually confirmed, he looks set to leave for bigger and brighter...

Spot Manchester City booked an FA Cup semi-final tie against Arsenal as Kevin De Bruyne's penalty and Raheem Sterling's curler helped Pep Guardiola's side see off Newcastle at St James' Park.

Nothing in football gets the blood going quite like a cup draw. Seeing your team's name in the hat beside their assigned ball number, dreaming of Wembley while praying you can avoid that one team no-one wants to play; it's a truly unique experience. Here's your #EmiratesFACup semi-final draw ? pic.twitter.com/f53z3pAePn — The Emirates FA Cup (@EmiratesFACup) June 28, 2020 Much was expected of the semi-final draw for this year's tournament, particularly with two of London's major clubs and the...

Burnley are the latest Premier League team being eyed for a possible takeover, with a number of American and Middle-Eastern investors seeing significant potential in the club. The Clarets have been in the news for the wrong reasons lately, with one of their fans behind the 'White Lives Matter' plane banner flown before their defeat to Manchester City. That event was followed by questions being asked about Sean Dyche's future at Turf Moor. Now, a number of overseas investors are interested in...

The affections of football fans can be hard to understand sometimes. It feels like at every club there's a naff defensive midfielder who, simply because they do lots of running and love to steam into a tackle on derby day, is more popular with supporters than a clever striker or tidy full back. But it's always the case that some players are just too good to be ignored, and forwards especially can bury most naysayers under an avalanche of goals, even if they don't appear to 'play for the...

Manchester United have been drawn to face Chelsea in the semi finals of the FA Cup, with Arsenal taking on Manchester City. The draw took place at half-time of City's tie with Newcastle on Sunday, conducted by a lonely Alan Shearer due to social distancing regulations. United were first out of the hat, and will take on the Blues in the showpiece semi-final later this month. The Red Devils were the first side to book their place in the semi-finals on Saturday evening, though were taken all the...
